Said I went down by that freight depot 
And that freight train he come rollin' by 
Lord and I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I went off in that far distant land 
I wasn't there long before I got a telegram 
(What did it say?) 
Sayin' now man won't you please come home 
Now man won't you please come home 
Then I went back home, I looked on the bed 
And that best old friend I had was dead 
Lord, and I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart 
But that best old friend someday must part 
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
(Play it for me now) 
Now as sure as the birds wings in the sky above 
Life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love 
Lord and I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
Lord I ain't got no lover now 
If I'd knowed you didn't love me and didn't want me to 
I would've taken morphine and died 
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
